The odds ratio measure is used in health and social surveys where the odds of a certain event is to be compared between two populations. It is defined using logistic regression, and requires that data from surveys are accompanied by their weights. A
nonparametric estimation method that incorporates survey weights and auxiliary information may improve the precision of the odds ratio estimator. It consists in $B$-spline calibration which can handle the nonlinear structure of the parameter. The variance is estimated through linearization. Implementation is possible through standard survey softwares. The gain in precision depends on the data as shown on two examples.
